Educationists & policy makers have been flagging the falling demand for engineering courses across the board for some time. Data shows a sustained decline over the years.
AICTE's 5-year data shows Civil & Mechanical branches continue to see less than 50% admission while Computer Science & Electronics remain popular choices with over 60% admission rate.
Admission percentage in most core engineering branches hit 5-yr high in 2021-22. Placements too went up, paving way for opening of new engineering colleges after ban on same was lifted.
The Nirouyeh Vijeh Pasdaran Velayat, or NOPO, was the only force Ali Khamenei trusted.It was founded in 1991 and is more feared than the Revolutionary Guards.
Rating democracies is a tricky business. I am only using the simple metric of who in the Indian subcontinent has had the most peaceful, stable, normal political transitions and continuity.
